I have trouble remembering to proof-read my commit messages too. :-)
(I count 3 typos).

I don't find this smp_mb() usage convincing.  It might be "right", but
to me it looks weird.
Partly, this is because there is a perfectly good spinlock that would
make the code obviously correct.

I would remove the short-circuit (which returns if list_empty()) and
always take the spinlock.  Then
   if (kill_new_tasks)
   	clnt->cl_kill_new_tasks = true;


In __rpc_execute() I would just have
  if (task->tk_client->cl_kill_new_tasks)
  	rpc_exit(task, -EIO);

As the task was added to the client list with the cl_lock spinlock
helds, there are no visibility issues to require a memory barrier.

Otherwise, the patch seems to make sense.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
